It features an uncredited guest appearance from fellow American rapper Playboi Carti and background vocals by American singers Charlie Wilson and Jessy Wilson.

==Background== Tyler initially wrote the song for Canadian singer Justin Bieber, who turned down the song. Tyler then asked Barbadian singer Rihanna to provide vocals to the hook believing the song would be big, but she also rejected the song. Tyler instead kept in his own raw vocals. "Earfquake" was initially leaked online on May 7, 2019.
